Cadets from Wiesbaden High School JROTC Warrior Battalion conducted a brief ceremony on June 6, 2024, in Quenneville, France, western Utah Beach, to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of D-Day. The ceremony recognized the invasion's tremendous efforts. The 11:00 ceremony was symbolic as this represented an approximate time of the first link-up of U.S. amphibious landing forces with U.S. Airborne forces in the Utah Beach area. This link-up connected the two forces, seized the critical causeways across the marshes to allow a continued build-up of the beachhead, and protected the exposed beaches from German counterattacks.
